Department News

The St. Louis County Police Department would like to remind citizens that during times of
high pedestrian and vehicle traffic, such as Halloween night, they should remain cautious and
aware while enjoying their Halloween activities. The following tips can be useful to follow to
ensure a safe and happy Halloween night:

DRIVE SLOWLY – For those driving to activities after dark, please be aware of heavy
pedestrian traffic due to trick-or-treating activity. Children get caught up in all of the fun of
Halloween and often forget about even the basics of safety.

STAY IN LIGHTED AREAS AND STAY TOGETHER – Remind your children to stay in large
groups. Large groups provide safety in numbers. In all situations, lighted areas provide a
safety measure allowing others to see you and for you to see your surroundings. Trick-or -
treaters should only go to homes with the front porch light activated with the owners
expecting visitors.

BE KEENLY AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS – Whether you are a driver or a
pedestrian, there is going to be a lot of activity around you. Keep your eyes open and expect
the worst. Do not take risks.

PARENTS, WATCH YOUR CHILDREN – As noted earlier, children get caught up in all the
fun and forget safety precautions. Everyone is in costume, and it can be hard to differentiate
one child from the next. Stay organized, stay together and stay alert.

“We offer Halloween Safety Centers and extra patrol throughout every precinct on
Halloween night,” said St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch. “We want to do our part to
provide the family and neighborhood atmosphere that every Halloween allows, but most
importantly, we want our citizens safe.”
